6th International Amazonian Shamanism Conference:


"Grace and Madness"


will once again be held in Iquitos, Peru this coming July. The website is coming along nicely and we're adding more "illustrious Presenters" and Shamans every day. So far, we have confirmed some very remarkable people with more to come.

There is an "Early Bird Discount" as well, ending on the 15th of Feb., 2010 ($150 USD discount)and a $100 USD discount if paid before March 15th.

We hope to see you here. There are several Pre-Conference and Post Conference programs available to you as well. The website is listed below. I hope you have some extra time to give it a look, especially the FAQ's. www.soga-del-alma.org for Conference website.

We here at Gracia Ethnobotanicals also have a travel agency and can get you the best rates for your Lima to Iquitos roundtrip. We reserve for you and then purchase the reservation and send you the ETICKET CODE. This information and much more is on the Conference website.

Please do come and be with 200+ like-minded individuals from all over the World! It’s incredible.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Good to hear you are still around Alan...

thankyou Senorsalvia!

I'll keep you updated with international flight information about every couple of weeks....
and I see you're in Florida... there's an incredible purchase via TACA from Miami to Lima roundtrip for July 9th and returning the 19th (basically the conference dates for flying down), if purchased in the next week or so (I don't know how long this will hold) at: $228 USDs total!

And here's some more flight info for everyone else, booking now for the Conference:

Flights are departing each city on July 9th and returning back on July 19th:

TACA: Albany to Lima to Albany - $784 USDs

chicago to Lima and back - $693 USDs

SFran to Lima and back - $716 USDs

American Airlines:

Denver to Lima and back - $805 USDs

Houston to Lima and back - $840 USDs

LA to Lima and back - $770 USDs

LAN PERU:

NYC to Lima and back - $735 USDs

these are just some quick examples so if you search longer you can no doubt find better deals. as everyone knows, it's always better to buy the tickets with anticipation. Same for the internal Peruvian flights. I have a travel agency here in Iquitos and we can reserve for you once you get your international roundtrip to Lima purchased. Just give me those details and I'll quote you. Contact me at alanshoemaker@hotmail.com

Since you're coming from so far away, if you have the time and the funds you might want to check out some of the Pre and Post conference journeys, we're adding new ones as we get them. Check the website at www.soga-del-alma.org

Finally... if you have some ideas of who you think would be an excellent "illustrious Presenter", please let us know.

cheers!

Especially from the East Coast, www.spiritair.com normally can beat all other airlines...
Not bad form the West Coast either, for example LA to Lima roundtrip is around $800 USDs...

Just a gentle reminder that, for those of you that are coming down for the 6th Amazonian Shamanism Conference this July, there is a $150 USD discount if the deposit for the Conference is paid by Feb. 15th. I do this because I also get a discount on the cost of the venue if I pay early.
be well and do good!

Many signed up and took advantage of the first "early bird special". there's one more special, if you may your deposit by the 15th of March you can still get a discount of $100 USDs ... just so you know.

We're doing an "Homage to Pablo Amaringo" at the 6th conference in Iquitos this July.
Many of you have been influenced by his art, many by his person and many by both. If you want to say a few things about Pablo, the stage and mic are open to you. In the back ground weill be showing photos of him so if you have some, do send them here so we can use them. They won't go any further than the Conference "Homage"... promise...
you can send them to me at alanshoemaker@hotmail.com

... and some more news from the ¨home front¨:
the son of Pablo Amaringo, Juan, will be bringing all of Pablos´s unsold art to the 6th Amazonian Shamanism Conference. It is all for sale. He has sent us photos of each piece, it´s dimensions and price. This will be up on the website shortly. www.soga-del-alma.org
If you have interest in purchasing any of these pieces before the Conference, this can be arranged as well. Just contact me at alanshoemaker@hotmail.com

There's still plenty of room and time to make your reservation for the conference. WE also book your internal Lima to Iqutios to Lima roundtrip and can save you a few hundred from what you'd book it for outside of Peru.
so if you can, do come on down for the 6th Amazonian Shamanism Conference, it's the amazing people that come here that makes it for me every year.
